Reflex [online]. 2019, vol.27, n.3, pp.175-190.  Epub 17-Sep-2025. ISSN 1982-9949.  https://doi.org/10.17058/rea.v27i3.12657.

The present work, resulting from a collaborative action research, approaches the professor. Who participated of the Free Word Association Test (FWAT), starting from the inductor term: "professor career". Using Moscovici’s (2003) Theory of Social Representations as theoretical and methodological foundation, this study shows that representations point out: a) as professor’s attributes: patience, love, dedication, responsibility, commitment, gift; b) as professor’s intrinsic incentives: achievement, pleasure, satisfaction, joy; c) as profession’s characteristics: formation, work, study, knowledge, challenge, student, devaluation, research, education.

Palabras clave : Professor occupation; Social Representations; Higher Education..
